SYSTEM OPERATION - BUMP START

If there is a system fault a bump start can be made in this way:
• carry out the operation to activate the system (turning the ignition key to MAR).
• after 10 seconds, check that the warning light is off.
• while the car picks up speed with the gear in idle (N) use the control lever on the tunnel, to engage a higher gear

• Remember that bump starting or using downhill roads should be avoided because these manoeuvres , if the engine control system is not functioning properly , could cause fuel to flow into the catalyst and cause permanent damage.
• Moreover, until the engine is running , power steering and brake booster are not efficient regarding functioning and driving safety.
• If the battery is completely discharged, this type of start-up is not possible.
